What a crock. I could easily overemphasize the importance of good
grammar. For example, I could say: "Bad grammar is the leading cause
of slow, painful death in North America," or "Without good grammar, the
United States would have lost World War II."

(I would say the same about spelling)

It's like someone saying they know what sushi is, but they don't like it- even though they've never put a *****ing piece of sushi in their stomach. You can't say you don't like sushi if you've never tried it.

So, because I don't listen to Sonic Youth all other points are invalid? BS!

Again, BS! Did you hear some of those Hair Bands? If those were not "PUSHED" I don't know what you call it.

Okay, I'm not going to argue with you about your tastes in music.
